The body trial begins: What is your defence?

Well, I was inspired by Rabbit's discussion, and I have brought the corpse back to life as a zombie. The second best defense to prove reasonable doubt is the lack of a body. The best defense, though, is producing a living body (or at least something that resembles a living body). I would have to be found innocent, since I could not possibly have murdered this person if they show up in court in my defense.

I am a terrible liar.. the best i could manage to blurt out would be IT WASN'T IT! THE CAT DID IT.

I have chocolates melted all over my fingers. Obviously I was eating it slowly, unveiling the most beautiful secret on earth. It was an insatiable secret! Now, do you believe I was guilty as charged?

its not a right on the part of the police

i had my period and i ate twinkies. all the defense i need.

it wasn't me at all. it was all the work of a notorious international group (apparently controlled by a Greek girl....)...who frame innocent people worldwide for extortion...i have discussions and postings to prove that....

My defense is that I have a temporarily unsound mind. Will that do?? I don't fool the jury. I just give them my blank stare, and they will say not guilty!

hi thea okay here goes honestly the blender that she never ever used was just caught between us and it just accidently slipped out of my hand and hit her in the worst place on her head,oksy I did not do it on purpose. then the wheelchair just veered out into traffic. I swear I never touched it.really. I liked her and she was very sweet. but she did talk and talk and talk when I was trying to work on the computer.She was a motormouth.why did she have the blender? I have not got the foggiest idea. we live in a retirement center. no fridge no place to store food. How did I get hold of it? She asked me to look at it and explain how it worked. She talked and talked and talked. Yes really she never stopped talking. she even predigested the news and told it to me while I was mylotting.Yes your honor she really hit her own head and she steered her wheelchair into the traffic. yes I tried to stop her. she killed herself. she was mad at me and tried to hit me and ended up hitting herself. Hope the jury believes all that. he he he.

I have an alibi. I was here on myLot with the wabbit...

rabbits don't have opposable thumbs and there is no way i could have held that axe firmly enough to kill somebody with it. also i will promise each member of the jury, the judge and my defence lawyer a carrot when i am found absolutely not guilty and receive a carrot based wotsit for the suffering i have undergone during this ridiculous paradoy of justice.

Hi thea, I live in a country where people would gladly accept the blame for a few thousands that will feed their families. I'd send for one such person, and he would confess the crime. Thereafter, there would be no case against me, would there?

Lying awake at night in the closed cramped barren concrete cell, I put the final piece of the defense into play. For weeks I have been "altering" between "personalities". My lawyer, when he thinks I can't hear him, calls me the whack-job, my cellie is mortally afraid for her life and with good reason. When no one can hear, I deepen my voice and tell her I am "Mac" (the mac, in machina) and if she testifies I will torture her, she is terrified which will make a good witness as anyone will believe she is being stalked by me as "Mac" in prison. Not to mention all the eccentric requests and personality changes she has witnessed. Then the day of the trial, I mentally prepare, for this is to be the performance of a life time. Detective Snoopy's notes may not have been enough to convict me but it was enough to arrest me and I needed a not-guilty verdict to make sure I would never be tried again for these murders, I mean one murder. At the trial, I prepare to "alter" in front of the jury in a chilling precise way that there is no room for doubt that I am no longer "Lina" but "Mac". I have also prepared my lawyer to have an "expert witness" in multiple personality disorder that will attest to treatment that can "integrate" the personalities into one again, but will not work if I am in prison. The change on the witness stand is startling, causing an uproar and the Judge has finally calmed all down. The cellie breaks down screaming as "Mac" turns "his" terrifying unblinking stare on her. The next change in the defendent is the vacant looks and then the lost look and then the slow waking up from a deep fog look, where upon "Lina" looks about in a panic and begins to sob. Disconnected from reality. The judge sends the jury to deliberate...the waiting begins and the verdict Not Guilty by reason of mental deficiency. Less than a six month stay at a cushy private mental hospital and I am "integrated" and out free to explore the new wonders of a new person who still looks at mummification with fascination...

i am very gud at hypnotising so it would hardly take me 1 minute or so to get hold of the jury mind and i would even sue the officers who had brought me to the court.so i am out of it without much explaination coz the jury decision is the final decision and with lots of money too.haha.wat you have to say Thea.

This is one interesting and funny discussion o.O My defence was that I was busying typing in MyLot during the time of the murder. LOL?

I think I would just plead ignorance I mean come on I'm American doesn't that say enough? I know from past discussions that I have to be in another country since the American courts don't work this way
